THE HUNT FAMILY FOUNDATION Letter from the President
Since its inception in 1987, the Foundation has made grants and commitments of $107,773,054 to 597 charitable organizations. This past year alone, $7.4 million was distributed to 136 charitable organizations. The majority of distributions benefit the Borderplex region while the rest have a broader state or national focus. The Foundation continues to invest in community programs and infrastructure that target advancements in healthcare, access to education, proliferation of the arts, preservation of local heritage, improvements in quality of life, and regional economic development.
To promote program sustainability, and encourage additional community contributions, the Foundation awards multi‐year commitments to organizations with a widespread and prolonged impact. In 2018, the Foundation awarded 17 new multi‐year commitments totaling $9,109,500. Of these new commitments, 14 target the Borderplex region.
